Description

English translation:

Front: News report for Communist soldiers. ARVN operations in Cambodia.
1. For years your supplies have come from bases in Cambodia.
2. In response to a call for help from the Cambodian Government the GVN ordered ARVN to go to Cambodia and destroy communist headquarters, base areas and caches.
3. These are the results of the Cambodian Operation by the ARVN and allies from 1 May to 13 May:
5,500 Communist soldiers killed.
9,076 different weapons captured.
1,859 tons of rice captured.
163 trucks captured.
Large quantities of ammunition, medical supplies and other essential military equipment have been captured.
4. President Thieu said on 12 May that the GVN forces will remain in Cambodia so long as the communist aggressors maintain bases and military forces there.

Back: This means that now:
1. You have lost your sanctuaries in Cambodia. This is a very serious defeat for the VC/NVA forces.
2. You have lost large quantities of weapons, ammunition, medicines and rice.
3. Your hardships will become even greater now.
4. The GVN has proved to the whole world that it is too powerful for the communist aggressors. Sooner or later you will fall victim of the mighty ARVN and be buried in the jungles or in the hills away from your loved ones.

Think about this! What will happen to you now?
